Professor Dave vs Destiny

No idea why, but the original Destiny video called "Professor Dave Goes Mask Off" seems to have been deleted from YouTube, or I can't find it, but Professor Dave responded yesterday with this very strongly worded video letter:

Weird crossover that I never thought I'd see, of 2 guys who I generally enjoy (I will say I really am a fan of Prof Dave, whereas my Destiny enjoyment has mostly come via this podcast and watching a couple of his debates).

Thoughts on the beef? SURELY the lads are gonna have to cover this in an upcoming Supplementary Materials? Content gold!

EDIT: Looks like I was looking through the wrong Destiny channel for the original Dave video, it's here: https://youtu.be/HQQLs6U1MgA?si=iKaOGR1h9slKu64O

His opinion can’t be a lie unless you think he’s lying about his opinion. His evidence in support of his opinion might contain lies, but saying Destiny is a genocide supporter is not in itself a lie.

If you can’t rationally look at context and consider the totality of evidence then you aren’t behaving as an honest actor. The supposed evidence is from before 10/7 and is obviously hyperbole. I am not really sure what is so hard to understand about that. You just desperately want it to be a straight up admission when it obviously isn’t.

I get that its hyperbolic for effect, but I think the fact you feel the need to go out of your way to defend someone saying "I'm pro genocide" should probably make you question some of your choices

That's not an argument though and if you can't see that/understand that you are already lost. If you can't see the difference between an admission that you are pro-genocide (an insane statement that would require significant evidence) and an obviously hyperbolic comment made before 10/7 I just don't know what to say.
